FATA — Capsicum annuum
Summary
CaFATA (T459_18343) on pepper chromosome 6 encodes an acyl-ACP thioesterase with acyl-ACP hydrolase activity, belonging to the FATA/B and HotDog domain families. This gene is associated with fatty acid anabolism, carotenoid anabolism, fruit development and ripening, and placentation. It has been linked to fruit weight and pungency, as well as seed oil content and fatty acid composition. Studies of related genes in other species connect the FATA family to oleic acid content, drought tolerance, photochemical quenching, and medium-chain fatty acid accumulation.
